Yes I am. I've heard that rumor about them not trying as hard to save you, but whatever.

Bullshit. pure and simple.


Of course I'm an organ donor.

No i am not.

edit:I have a card in my wallet that specifically says that i am not a donor. This way hospital will not be able to harass my family in to donating my organs.

Yes that makes you an asshole. But at least you have the balls to admit it here.

Pretty much every post of his that I have seen always takes the asshole route.

Being a donor or not, is personal decision. Reason of why i have the card, is so that i don't put my family in position under which they will have to decide if they should donate my organs or not. This way, my decision is already been made.

I don't want my organs to be cut out of me. It's basically the reason why i am not an organ donor. Some might think that i am selfish or i am asshole or anything else, that is totally fine by me. Every person should be free to make his/her decision.

Would you accept an implant from another person if you needed it to survive or function normally?

He just tries to get attention this way. I'm sure we have all known the type, they will always take the most unpopular position and defend it on some sort of principle just to appear independent.

If you're a living organ donor. For example, if you donate a kidney, and your remaining kidney fails, you get bumped to the top of the list.

I put the donor thing on my license, but I don't know if the fact that I'm a recipient (kidney) complicates things.

Fact: organ donation did not save my life, it just made it easier. I was just as much a productive member of society on dialysis, though my daily functioning was easier to disrupt. I'm an abnormality.

Thousands of people die waiting for organs.

If you really want to be super special and generous, look into donating a kidney or a portion of your liver now.
